[HIATUS] CAREGIVER LIFEHACKS (CLL) "Find Your People" (Episode One)

More than 53 million Americans act as family caregivers who often fall below the radar sacrificing everything in the name of compassion, empathy, and love. Caregiver Lifehacks amplifies the voices of those impacted by the diagnosis of a loved one. Hungry to connect and share information, these authentically candid interviews give us a peek into the vulnerable spaces of what it means to provide care for a loved one. Host Elura Nanos uses her no-BS conversational style to provide a home for the often unspoken thoughts and feelings of the caregiver experience. As a fiercely intelligent and radically compassionate lawyer and media professional, she knows the caregiver path all too well.




This episode discusses the moment of hearing about a loved one’s CLL diagnosis, the daunting task of navigating insurance and the healthcare system, and the necessity of finding and building your support network. Our host, Elura Nanos, talks with Lisa Ferguson, a communications director and mother of two from Huntsville, Alabama, and Erin O’Brien, a project manager from Cincinnati, Ohio. Lisa’s husband and Erin’s mom have CLL. In sharing their stories, they discuss their struggles and challenges and the importance of building your support network. Lisa and Erin begin our conversation as strangers, but they become each other’s “people by the end.”
